What is the magnitude of the change in potential energy of the block-spring system when it travels from its lowest vertical posi
maksim [4K]

Answer:

 ΔU = 2 mg h

Explanation:

In a spring mass system the potential energy is U = m g h

where h is measured from the equilibrium point of the spring

the potential energy at the highest point is

         U₁ = m g h

the potential energy at the lowest point is

         U₂ = m g (-h)

instead in this energy it is

          ΔU = 2 mg h

In this two points the kinetic energy is zero, but there is elastic potential energy that has the same value in the two points, so its change is zero

a large sphere is on a horizontal field on a sunny day. at a certain time the shadow reaches out a distance of 10 m from the poi
Mars2501 [29]

The radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = 10\sqrt{5} -20

Think about the angle the ground and the shadow make. Since the sun's beams are parallel, the angle created by the stick's shadow is also equal. Since the stick is 1 m high and its shadow is 2 m long, we know that the stick's angle is arctan 1/2. Therefore, by thinking of a right-angled triangle,

r/10 = tan [arctan(1/2)] = tan (1/2)

Since, tan (θ/2) = 1-cos(θ) / sin(θ)

we find that,

r/10 = \sqrt{5} -2

Hence, r = 10\sqrt{5} -20

So, the radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = 10\sqrt{5} -20

If the load is 13 cm from the fulcrum, how much effort is needed to lifth the load ? Help me.
snow_tiger [21]
That depends on a few things that you haven't told us about the setup.
So I'm going to assume one of them, and then give you the answer
in terms of another one:

-- Assume a Class-I lever . . . the fulcrum is between the load and the effort.

-- Then the effort needed to lift the load is

(the weight of the load) x (13 / the distance between the fulcrum and the effort)
